Cohabitat energy hackers with their biomass gasifier

We are happy to announce that the Polish division of EnergyTorrent is about to launch. Very soon energy hackers in Poland will have their own local community of devoted people sharing open source energy designs and solutions with the whole planet :)

The team behind international solar hackathon is sorry to inform that SunnyDay is postponed untill the next summer season.

Hard Decision

For us decision to cancel SunnyDay scheduled for August 2015 was a hard one. We invested tons of time, attention, love and money in preparing it and now we have to move it 9 months later.Continue reading →

This year in August we are organizing a big international hackathon aimed at scaling up the success of SunnyDay – 2014. Engineers and hackers will be competing to design best solar concnetrator solutions which will be released under open-source licence. We think it is good idea to reward those awesome teams. So we have launched our crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo in order to provide great prizes for our teams!

Support solar energy hackers with your donations. Spread the world! Help us make renewable energy more affordable!

EnergyTorrent team and Greencubator invite to participate in conference “EnergyTorrent: energy of communities and co-actions”, which will take place on June 26-28 in Kyiv at the territory of “Platforma” art-factory.

Design-It-Together (DIT) approach is at the core of the existence and functioning of EnergyTorrent community.

Both using just own hands and brains as well as using them in joint effort for bigger projects. That is why we were not hesitating when they invited us to participate in Kyiv Maker Faire – one of the events gathering people like us – hackers, tinkerers, engineers and tech enthusiasts.
